11 burning questions we have after watching 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'

The place have been Luis and the remainder of Scott Lang's former legal pals?

Whereas the first two "Ant-Man" motion pictures have been primarily about Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), and their respective households, a few of the finest moments got here from Ant-Man's entourage: Luis (Michael Peña), Dave (T.I.) and Kurt (David Dastmalchian).

The trio began as petty thieves that wooed Scott again into his lifetime of crime by getting him to steal from Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). In the sequel, they attempt to begin up a safety firm with Scott as certainly one of the founders.

Sadly, in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Scott's crew is nowhere to be seen and they don’t seem to be talked about both. The closest look is Dastmalchian voicing a wholly new character in the Quantum Realm.

Their disappearance leaves questions about what occurred to them since "Ant-Man and the Wasp" and since the Blip. Did any of them die when Thanos snapped his fingers in "Avengers: Infinity Conflict?" What occurred to their safety firm? Did they get to maneuver on and begin households identical to Scott?

Director Peyton Reed not too long ago instructed The Hollywood Reporter that as a result of the scale of "Quantumania," there was no room for Luis, Kurt, and Dave, and thought it "didn't make sense" so as to add them. Nevertheless, can this be a real finish to the "Ant-Man" trilogy with out them?

Can somebody please clarify the ooze to me?

(*11*)

On the one hand, the ooze was a enjoyable sci-fi gimmick to determine how totally different the Quantum Realm is from Earth.

On the different hand, it raises a number of questions. Firstly, how did the Quantum folks know the ooze would work? Kang (Jonathan Majors) and Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) appear to be the solely people that have ever been in the Quantum Realm. Did they simply undergo a section of trial and error till it labored? Or did they be taught their language and come upon the ooze later? Or does everybody in the Quantum Realm want ooze to grasp one another since it is not uncommon sufficient to be stocked in a neighborhood bar?

Does the ooze final endlessly or do people have to drink it to maintain it inside their programs? And at last, the place does ooze from the bar even come from? We all know that with the revolution group, all of it comes from the pink jelly-person Veb. Are there a number of Vebs being milked in the Quantum Realm for his or her ooze?

If there are any extra tales associated to the Quantum Realm, I would like an in-depth rationalization of the ooze economic system.

That is the second Kang to attempt to wipe out the multiverse to avoid wasting the multiverse. Is he associated in any strategy to He Who Stays?

At the finish of the Disney+ collection "Loki," we meet a model of Kang for the first time who goes by the identify He Who Stays. He claimed that he vanquished all the different Kangs like him with a purpose to create one timeline to cease wars between the Kangs.

This appears much like the aim of the Kang we see in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." In the film, Kang establishes that he fears that the multiverse will collapse in on itself as a result of incursions brought on by different variants of him from totally different universes. Therefore, earlier than being banished to the Quantum Realm, he tried to destroy all the different universes and kill his fellow Kangs.

This begs the query: since time isn't at all times linear for a time traveler, is He Who Stays a future model of this Quantum Kang that succeeds in his mission? He Who Stays' monologue a couple of multiversal conflict between Kangs may simply be referencing this Quantum Kang's mission to combat the different Kangs.

Plus, the Council of Kangs in the mid-credits scene appear fairly peaceable with one another, which may imply this Quantum Kang was the one which ruined the peace.

Alternatively, a number of Kangs may very well be coming to the identical conclusion — the greatest risk to the multiverse is themselves.

This might complicate the upcoming "Avengers" showdown, contemplating some Kangs may need to help the heroes in stopping the different Kangs.

Why does rising make Cassie and Scott hungry in the Quantum Realm?

Whereas Scott can develop in addition to shrink, in earlier movies it’s established that he can not keep in the progress stage as a result of he loses vitality quicker.

Nevertheless, in "Quantumania," they’re already actually tiny. So, realistically, rising shouldn’t have an effect on them as a lot since, compared to the actual world, they're nonetheless most likely smaller than an ant.

But in the remaining battle, Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) nearly passes out from rising for the first time, and even Scott appears winded each time he modifies from huge to regular dimension. 

Perhaps there’s an evidence for this however this actually appeared like simply an excuse for the characters to not use their best asset.

 

Why do Hank and Janet not have a go well with?

This could be a bit pedantic however why haven't Hank and Janet created their very own Ant-Man fits in case of emergencies?

Since the first "Ant-Man," Hank has received in near-death situations on a number of events. It appears logical at this level to have one, a minimum of when they should escape their enemies. Even Cassie has her personal super-suit in the sequel and it's not like both of them is aware of how they work since they each created the fits and used them first.

Hank and Janet maintain their very own in the Quantum Realm, however I really feel it's simply reckless giving their standing to not have extra private defenses.

Will we see M.O.D.O.Okay. once more?

M.O.D.O.Okay., also referred to as the Mechanized Organism Designed Just for Killing, is lastly launched in "Ant-Man 3" as a reimagining of "Ant-Man" villain Darren Cross (Corey Stoll).

In the new film, M.O.D.O.Okay. explains that Kang (Jonathan Majors) saved him after Ant-Man shrunk him down in "Ant-Man" and turned him right into a super-powered hunter.

M.O.D.O.Okay. is sort of an insane and harmful foe in the sequel however he finally ends up kicking the bucket after turning on Kang. Or does he?

The blow that finally kills him appears to be like like one thing a super-powered hunter may survive, particularly since all the different heroes acquired a number of blasts from Kang and received again as much as combat.

Probably, he was nonetheless recovering from his combat with Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), however even then it simply looks like too easy a dying for the character. Perhaps I'm simply being optimistic, however it might be a waste of one other Marvel villain to let him bow out so rapidly.

How did the ants defeat Kang?

In the remaining battle, simply when all hope appears to be like misplaced, a swarm of big ants takes the battlefield and brings Kang to a standstill. With assist from M.O.D.O.Okay., they destroy his protect and carry him away.

It’s quite humorous that the villain described as the new greatest risk to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is ready to be defeated by a bunch of ants. However this ending additionally is mindless.

One may argue that it’s simply him being outnumbered with the spectacular know-how the ants have constructed, but it surely doesn't clarify why he doesn't try and shoot them together with his lasers or fly away — the talents he used to destroy a revolution moments earlier than.

This can possible make audiences doubt the risk of Kang.

Why didn't Marvel kill Ant-Man?

Additional to the final level, it doesn't make sense for "Ant-Man 3" to tee up Kang as the new huge villain of the MCU when he’s unable to kill certainly one of his principal enemies in the film. 

In his first battle in "Avengers: Infinity Conflict," Thanos killed two well-known characters, Loki and Heimdall, and beat the Hulk into hiding. In the meantime, Kang received taken down by certainly one of the second-string Avengers. (No offense, Scott.)

This film arrange an ideal situation for Scott's dying, with him lastly sacrificing himself for one thing higher as an alternative of simply showboating about being an Avenger. It might have given Cassie the motivation for her heroism. It might actually present Kang as a risk to any Marvel character regardless of how vital they’re. As an alternative, "Quantumania" ended like another Marvel film.

If they’re frightened of killing Scott, even killing Hope, Janet, or Hank would actually make followers notice how lethal Kang is.

How do Scott and Hope get out at the finish of the film?

In the remaining combat with Kang, Scott and Hope danger being stranded in the Quantum Realm with a purpose to cease the villain from escaping. After killing Quantum Kang, there’s a second when each characters look throughout the Quantum Realm as if they’re accepting their new life.

Then, a portal exhibits up behind the pair, and they return dwelling. As a lot as this second proves what little stakes the film had, it additionally makes zero sense.

It’s established that the Multiversal Engine is the solely factor that may get the heroes dwelling with out there being an enormous time-jump since time strikes quicker on Earth compared to the Quantum Realm.

Nevertheless, the engine is destroyed in the combat with Kang, which means there needs to be no manner for an additional portal to be created.

This second seems like the writers sacrificed continuity for a cheerful ending.

Has Ant-Man doomed Earth-616?

At the finish of "Quantumania," Scott has a gentle panic that killing Quantum Kang may trigger the finish of the universe since the villain claimed earlier that he’s the just one that may cease what's coming.

Since we know there are two back-to-back "Avengers" movies coming, does this imply Scott and his household have already doomed the Avengers in "Avengers: Kang Dynasty?"

 

Who was the third Kang in the mid-credits scene?

In the "Ant-Man" mid-credits scene, followers witness the Council of Kangs for the first time. In the comics, these are variations of Kangs from totally different timelines that conform to work collectively.

The MCU appears to be replicating that with Kangs from the multiverse seemingly teaming as much as search out Ant-Man after he killed Quantum Kang.

When we first meet the council, we are launched to 2 recognizable Kangs when you've learn the comics. The Kang in the Egyptian headdress is clearly Rama-Tut, in the meantime, Immortus appears to be the Kang in the lengthy cloak.

Nevertheless, the third cyborg-looking Kang has no direct comedian comparisons. It may very well be a model of Iron Lad, a younger Kang who turns into a hero to keep away from his destiny as the conqueror. Alternatively, it has been theorized that this can be a contemporary tackle the Scarlet Centurion model of Kang.

Hopefully, Marvel explains who this Kang is as we lead as much as "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty."
